Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Not a problem, just a suggestion: On the RoadCurvature website, you encourage users to contribute by updating OSM data. However, because there can be a bit of a learning curve to editing OSM which may not be very significant, but may be more than your average user has patience for, I recommend also mentioning the StreetComplete app as a way for users to easily contribute OSM data that is directly useful to RoadCurvature. Primarily, this will help the RoadCurvature project with surface=* tags in OSM.

Describe the solution you'd like Mention the StreetComplete app as an easy way to contribute OSM data on the https://roadcurvature.com/how-it-works/osm/ page, most likely under the "Improving the data" or "Adding surface tags" sections, as the app will not be of much help for more advanced edits.

Describe alternatives you've considered This is one of the easiest methods I've found for users to contribute data to OSM. Because StreetComplete is also an open source project on github, you may even suggest new "quest" ideas to them to implement which could, in turn, help improve the data for RoadCurvature.

Additional context I am not affiliated with the StreetComplete app, just a user who saw potential for that project to benefit this project.
